Level Meters & Processing Bargraphs
Left hand LCD screen showing I/O and process bargraphs

Audio I/O Level Display

Both input and output levels are displayed in real time. The bars indicate VU while the "bouncing balls"
indicate sample-accurate peak signal levels. The horizontal meters show the signal levels below full scale
digital (0 dBFS), which is the absolute maximum level in the digital domain. In normal operation, the VU
metering should average about -15 dBFS (-12 dBFS is approximately equivalent to 0VU in the analog
domain).

Processing Display

The thirteen vertical bargraphs in the lower half of the Meter Display show the processing activity in real
time within the Omnia-6fm. The first vertical meter (labeled W) represents the processing activity in the
Wideband AGC section. The five vertical "AGC" meters show the processing activity of each of the AGCs
in the multi-band AGC section. The six vertical "Limit" meters show the processing activity in each of the
limiter sections of the multi-band limiter. Each of the meters is capable of indicating up to 25 dB of gain
reduction.
The rightmost vertical bar graph (labeled EFX) indicates the processing level of the built-in Stereo
Enhancement effect, when that function has been activated.
Note: The wideband AGC and Multi-band AGCs will recover to a resting gain setting which coincides
with the RTP (Return To Platform) levels set for each band. Refer to Chapter 5, "Editing Presets", for more
information on interpreting and using the processing bargraph displays.
Omnia 6 Use and Installation Guide – Version 1.00a
The horizontal meters show digital sample-
accurate peak and VU representations of
the left and right input and output levels,
while the vertical bargraphs show
processing activity of the various
algorithms. The currently selected Preset
Name is displayed in the bottom left corner
of the Meter Display, while the current
time is displayed in the lower right corner.
